How do I get a DUI from 2014 expunged from my record in VA?

I received a DUI after leaving my residence in a hurry and to save my life. I was being severely abused by my husband and we had a daughter together. She thank goodness was at my parents house, I dropped her off there Friday night. I went back home Friday night so I wouldn't alarm him and so I could pack up our things on saturday and leave while my husband was gone. It was saturday afternoon and my husband left as usual to go work out and he was usually gone for 3-4 hours on those days. So I had a plan to leave while he was gone so things wouldn't esculate again. I had a broken rib and in pain from his prior attack. I had a few glasses of wine but wasn't planning on driving anywhere. I was packing things up very quickly so I could leave with my father when he arrived in that hour. However, my husband came home early (as if he knew I was leaving) I was upstairs packing a bag and he attacked me again, threw me down the stairs. He was going nuts and yelling, I saw my keys by the door and grabbed them and left running from him. He chased after me, but I managed to get in the car and drive off. I was going to my folks when I slipped on ice and hit a parked car. cops came?

I was recently charged with and arrested for drunk in public. I'm in the process of hiring an attorney to hopefully have this expunged. This is my first offense and I was a passenger when our car was pulled over and couldn't find a safe ride home therefore I was arrested. I am terrified to let my employer know as I work for a local government agency. The employee handbook does not state that I have to disclose this - specifically. It does state that if you're charged with something that could affect the community's opinion of you that you could be suspended and investigated. I work in a different locality than the one I was charged in but am still TERRIFIED that this could get out and I could be fired. I would rather keep my mouth shut, go to court, and hopefully have this dismissed without anyone finding out. Everyone I've spoken to outside of my job that I can trust has told me not to say anything and that admitting this what I consider to be a private matter could do more harm than good. Please help me!!

To suggest that the employer will not find out is ridiculous. You work for the agency of the government. The...

A neighbor called cps on me after we got in an argument and told them we are drug addicts, that my child sticks herself with needles and we put out cigs in her. None of that is true. Cps drug tested us and we failed for suboxone. Our child want with us when we did it and we are not addicts. They took her cuz of the failed test. We have passed every test since then. We go to court soon. They have no other proof of abuse or neglect at all. Can i get her back since ive passed 5 test and only failed one which is the fitst one they gave us.

Perhaps. Sometimes there are more issues that are being looked at besides the drug test results.

My license was suspended because I didn't pay court fines for a DUI. I just paid all court fines but never installed the interlock. My friend told me that even though it's past the time of my restricted license that it's suspended now because I never installed the interlock. Is this true?

Yes. If the court originally ordered a restricted license then you will need an interlock for six months before you can...
